Vitamins ?

I feel that I need to be taking some vitamins, but I'm not sure what is gluten-free.

I do not like to take a lot of medicine or other stuff so I'm thinking maybe a multi vitamin.

What is the minimum that should be taken and what is the best brand for a sensitive gut? B)

Any help would be appreciated!!

I find a lot of vitamin brands have gluten free right on the label up here. :) I hope they are doing that in the US as well.

If you go to GNC and ask for help they can show you the glutenfree ones.

OK I am going to be a vitamin snob for a minute here so I hope I don't offend anyone; it's just that my doctor's influence on my is apparently great. My doctors/friends and I all agree that the vitamins you get at GNC, Vitamin World, etc. are not good vitamins; they are watered down versions of the real deal and not worthy of purchasing.

I buy TwinLab vitamins; available at Sprouts or even some organic sections of supermarkets. They are gluten-free, cost the same as other vitamins, and I feel are much better than the stuff from Vitamin World. They have a multivitamin, B complex, and many, many others.

Enzymatic Therapy brands have all sorts of supplements and vitamins. That brand always has on their bottles what they are free of. Most of them are gluten-free. This is the brand I use. I am sure that there are alot of other good brands that are gluten-free as well :D

I don't have much faith in what doctors say right now. They tried telling me all sorts of crap that turned out to be completely untrue. I had to switch doctors 3 times to find a good doctor that could finally diagnose me. Twin Labs vitamins I am pretty sure that brand is even sold at Vitamin Shoppe.

The things I use from GNC have worked just as well as those I bought in the organic section of my health food store. Plus it's a lot closer to my house.

My b/f has celiac and we get our vitamins from Vitacost.com. Great prices, no fillers --- We get the NSI brand and they are gluten free. Great company to deal with (I do not have celiac but I get low carb products from them) and I have always paid $4.95 for s/h. The products usually arrive within 5 days from ordering. Good luck.

Not all GNC stores are as knowledgeable as the ones previoulsy mentioned. I went to our local one and they had no IDEA what Celiac Disease or gluten free products were! Honest. That was my first stop when trying to educate myself about Celiac Disease and was very dissapointed. I am so glad my doctor suggested this site! :D

Also, Krogers has a 1-800 number on all their produsts and you can talk to a nutritionist who will tell you which Kroger products are gluten-free.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after eating them. If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      By trents · Posted

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.
